SHHHH! Quietly Now

Goin’ To The Can

Yeah, I know it’s a weird subtitle, but, for me, there is truth in it. With an issue of a “neck rebuild” last year, I was in a state where I couldn’t shoot rifles much. In fact, for a while, I was limited to .22 rimfire.

The rimfire gig in and of itself wasn’t bad. I learned a lot, got to get a couple of new guns and found some great transition gear like the CMMG .22 LR bolt for the AR rifle. After some repair time, I got to go back into rifle, but the days of the big rifles are probably over for me. I still need to shoot some medium guns if for no other reason but to work. In an effort to reduce recoil I signed on board with the government and all the goofy forms to have ownership of suppressor, silencers or, in our jargon, a can… hence in the last year I have been “going to the can” mode to be able to shoot rifles and realized two benefits: reduction of recoil and reduction of noise.
